Cosmic Rays: Energy Spectra, Cosmic Rays: Composition

Scientific paper

Direct measurements of galactic cosmic ray composition have been made above 1 TeV/nucleon in a series of 10 balloon flights beginning in 1979. The updated results indicate: (1) a single power law proton spectrum up to about 80 TeV, and a deficiency of proton intensity beyond 80 TeV; (2) an overabundance of helium continues to 100 TeV/n; (3) the intensities of heavy elements (C to Fe) at above 1 TeV/n are consistent with the exptrapolation from lower energy data using the Spacelab 2 spectral indices; (4) an enhancement for these components above 20 TeV/n for (C-O), and above 3 TeV/n for (Ne-S and Z > 17) is suggested.
